Filling bookcases with decorations in your living room can add style, personality, and visual interest to the space.
Here's a little guide to help you effectively decorate your bookcases.
Let's find out more!
Clear the Shelves
Start by removing all books and items from the shelves.
This provides a clean slate for your decorating project.
Start with Larger Items
Place larger decorative items on the shelves first.
These items can serve as focal points and anchors for the overall design.
Incorporate Books
Integrate some of your favorite books back into the bookcase.
Consider arranging them both vertically and horizontally for a dynamic look.
You can also stack a few books to create platforms for smaller decorative items.
Add Textures and Colors
Incorporate a variety of textures and colors to add depth and visual richness.
Mix materials like glass, metal, wood, and ceramics.
Use decorative items in a color scheme that complements your room's decor.
Balance Symmetry and Asymmetry
Experiment with both symmetrical and asymmetrical arrangements.
Symmetry can create a formal and balanced look, while asymmetry can add a more casual and eclectic vibe.
Rotate and Update
Periodically update and rotate your decorations to keep the display fresh and interesting.
This is especially relevant for seasonal decor changes or whenever you feel like giving your living room a new look.
